The modernized St Mary's Church Nottingham website homepage

St Mary's Church

St Mary's Church, a historic Nottingham landmark, approached us with a need to modernize its website while preserving its community-focused outreach.

Nonprofit & civic

Project Overview

Its existing website suffered from outdated design and rigid content management, making it difficult for staff to keep their schedule current, a critical function for announcing services, community events, and parish news to locals. The technical challenge involved creating a solution that was visually befitting of the landmark's heritage while being intuitive enough for the church's non-technical staff to manage independently.

We collaborated closely with the Vicar to develop a WordPress solution with an off-the-shelf theme and tailored administrative interface. By building a simpler calendar management system with recurring event support, we eliminated the previous workflow bottlenecks that had plagued their communication efforts.

We're happy to say that they're still using the same infrastructure from 2018. We build websites to last.

Common questions

St Mary's Church project FAQs

What buyers ask us about the St Mary's Church project, answered from the work itself

How long does a site like this last?
They are still running on the same infrastructure we built in 2018. We build websites to last.
Can non-technical staff keep a schedule current?
That was the core problem to solve. Their old setup made it hard for staff to announce services, community events and parish news, so we built a simpler calendar management system with recurring event support and removed the workflow bottleneck entirely.
Why WordPress here rather than a headless build?
Because it fitted the organisation. A WordPress solution with an off-the-shelf theme and a tailored administrative interface gave the church something its non-technical staff could manage independently, at a cost that made sense for a parish.
How do you handle a heritage brand online?
Carefully. St Mary's is a historic Nottingham landmark, so the site had to be visually befitting of the building while staying intuitive enough for the staff to run. We worked closely with the Vicar throughout.
